Here is where you can list notes and information you have gathered on the infection to date. This is to be considered common knowledge among the group unless otherwise noted.
Compiled notes from various resources including Garrett Ashdown, Charles "Chuck" Jones, Dr. George Reese, Dr. Betty Hart, and Randolf Maxwell's notes.
All standard Walkers have the ability to slowly regenerate the central nervous system. From observation this mainly includes the spinal column to aid in continual movement of some type. Repairing an injury to the spinal column can can take up to several hours depending on the severity of the injury. Injuring the brain causes what appears to be a permanent death. The nanites found within Walkers are different than the Enhancement nanites the others have. The Walker nanites appear to have only a few protocols such as reproduction and transmission to new hosts along with the a slightly regenerative nature for the hosts as mentioned before. Walker brains when inspected appear to have a difference in them when compared to normal human brains. This seems to be an additional protocol for the more common nanties. The brain differences areas are hard to pin down exactly as in seems there is a remapping of certain areas as if created for a new creature but are not being used which seems very inefficient on a Walker.
Other infected see slightly different modifications to the body in a more obvious genetically mutative fashion. Screamers, for example, have highly advanced voice cords capable of producing intense sound waves, almost like the are alarm system. Jumpers and Hulks are the most intensely modified and mutated. Both jumpers and Hulks have increased muscle mass, Hulks obviously more so between the two. It seems as if Jumpers take on a more animalistic form, running and walking on four legs, like a large dog or other predatory creature whereas Hulks are just pure brute force, looking vaguely humanoid still. Boomers appear to be the cannon fodder type that are solely meant as a way to spread infection even quicker among a large group. The same can be said for the ones that vomit, minus the explosion.
